Great restaurant on the waterfront! Open air, covered dining, next to a boat per. It was fun to watch boats, floating Tiki bars,... kayaker, paddleboarders, etc. float by during our lunch. Not a ton of "fish" options for a seafood restaurant, but if you likeshellfish and fried seafood there's probably something here for you. I ordered the fried flounder sandwich and it was huge anddelicious! Two crispy filets, thick slices tomatoes and lettuce served with crisp fries, tartar and cocktail sauce on the side.We also ordered the a la Carmen appetizer, 1 dozen mussels, clams, and shrimp in a white sauce. The place has valet parkingonly and is BYOB. Plenty of seating in the dining area for small and large groups as well as out front when it's busy and youhave to wait for a table. Read more

Crab cake appetizer was large enough for lunch, and was very good. Employees were all very nice.

This restaurant was highly recommended to us but we left highly disappointed. We were seated immediately on a busy Friday night... but that was the only good thing about the experience! We sat for 15 minutes before our server came to take our drink orders.She was not friendly at all. Returned 15 minutes later to take our food order, although we were ready when she brought ourdrinks. Unfortunately she did not stop long enough for us to let her know that. Our food came fast and we were very impressedwith that but the food was cold! Our server did return but that was before we realized our food was cold. She did not give ustime to tell her about the food at all! We barely saw her! The best part was the valet service! Read more

Visiting Carmen's for dinner is a summer tradition for us and they never disappoint. You get a lot of food for your money, and... eating right on the water is always a treat. We like that it's BYOB. Staff is always helpful and accommodating. Valet parking isa huge perk. We'd happily recommend! Read more

Few experiences in life can be characterized as authentic, charming and satisfying. Without question, Carmen?s checks all three... of these boxes. While you might wait 30 minutes during the peak dinner rush for a table, delicious food and great service awaityou along with a complimentary bowl of rolls and butter. Our dishes tonight were cooked to perfection (flounder, scallops,crab, shrimp and even the pasta.) Ask for Michelle to be your server! You?ll know her by the Disney glasses, hustles to refillyour drinks, requests you order by the menu number and always arrives at the table with a smile. For extra points she is quickto compliment a cleanly kept table. If you are lucky, you will have the chance to meet Carmen and Ruth, the namesake andproprietors, who go together like cocktail sauce and shrimp? you couldn?t think of one without the other. Nothing is perfect,and Carmens tends to your concerns without complaint. So enjoy the valet parking, bring your favorite bottle of wine and relaxalong the boats passing by while enjoying the best seafood in Sea Isle. Read more
